1Moss is found in the north and is the way hikers know where they are.
Dr. Nir Ohad of Tel Aviv University’s Department of Plant Sciences and Prof. Ralf Reski of the University of Freiburg have found a new use for the Polycomb
group proteins that are in moss.
2This finding has important implications in stem cell therapies, which can go 3awry if implanted stem cells aren’t reprogrammed properly.
4These proteins play an important role in telling stem cells how to develop.
5In some scientific disciplines, mosses are considered “lower-class,” or less advanced, organisms.

1.Hikers know that moss on a tree trunk always points north.
2.Ralph Reski learned there is protein in moss.
3.the reseachers found a way that alters the dna organizes inside the cell nucleus which effects gene expression.
4.Stem cells go from having a non-defined functionn to a specific one.
5. Moss is a kind of plant that shares basic development processes with those found in humans.

1 Moss always grows on the north side of a tree.
2 Moss is a type of plant that grows and develops like a human being.
3 Dr. Nir Ohad discovered a new use for the Polycomb group proteins, (PcG) found in some moss.
4 Moss is a kind of plant that shares development processes with those found in human beings.
5 Moss has been dated back as far as 450 million years.

1)Moss is a plant.

2)Moss faces north on a tree.

3)Humans have similar basic devilment as moss.

4)Moss have been around 450 million years.

5)This article is about improving stem cell techniques.

1.) All hunters know that moss on a tree trunk always points North.
2.) Moss is a kind of plant that shares basic development processes with those found in humans.
3.) Moss is a type of plant that grows and develops like a human being.
4.) According to researh by Israeli and German scientists, moss may also provide a new “compass” for stem cell research.
5.) Dr. Nir Ohad discovered a new use for the Polycomb group proteins (PcG) found in moss.

1.Hikers know that moss on a tree trunk always points north.
2.Moss is a kind of plant that shares basic development processes with those found in humans.
3.The researchers suggest that the basic function of the PcG mechanism in moss, common to its function in plants and humans, is in regulating cell differentiation, describing the point at which a stem cell “decides” to become a leaf or flower, for example.
4.In some scientific disciplines, mosses are considered “lower-class,” or less advanced, organisms. But Dr. Ohad defends mosses as highly adaptive organisms, which after 450 million years are still with us.
5.It gives science a tool to control tissue specification, timing of reproduction and the development of traits in seeds that serve as the source for human and animal feed.
